Ancient games (Ur & Senet

This lesson we were introduced to two different ancient games one was called the royal game or Ur and the other was Senet after looking through a power point and learning a bit about each board game we had a chance to play both of them with a partner, the first one for the two I tried was the royal game of Ur as it was the one that looked better in my opinion and peaked my interest the most, this was because the board was a thin board but looked like a lot of action between players would happen  and that appeals more to me. After a few games of Ur we moved on to Senet and gave that a go this game I found not to be as fun as the first but was still an enjoyable game this game lasted a bit longer than the first one as this one allowed a player to get in front of the other player and block him from passing which meant a player could play defensive and win and this is not how I enjoy playing games personally.
